Example: If you have set the film format to 6 x 6 format, load the film
and then advance the film until number “1” is appear on the MIDDLE
window. After this frame is exposed, advance the film until number “2” is
appear on the MIDDLE window.
Note:Remember to advance the film after every exposure or you will get
a double/multi exposure image and don’t forget the film format
you have set.

EXPOSURE
Calculating the exposure time:
If you don’t have a light meter, use 2-4 seconds under bright sunlight,
4-20 seconds for shade; 4-10 minutes for cloudy, for indoor or lightscene,
use 15-45 minutes or more.
If you have a light meter, you can make use the exposure scale (F) to
calculate the exposure time easily. The numbers on the outer ring of the
scale are the exposure time range from 1/8000 of a second to 15 hours
and numbers on the inner dial indicate f/stop number setting. These
range from f/1.4 to f/720.
1. Use a light meter to get a reading of the scene you wish to
photograph. Choose the f/stop that is aligned most closely with a
given exposure time. (For example, the reading is f/5.6, 1/500 seconds)
2. Look on the inside ring and find the f/stop selected from the light
meter (f/5.6 in this example). Turn the dial until that f/stop matches
with the correct exposure time (1/500 seconds in this example).
3. Now find f/250 on the inside dial. (f/stop of the Zero 6x9 camera is f/
235). It will be aligned with the estimated exposure time of the
photograph you wish to take, i.e. 4 seconds in this example.
